The Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave their first-string offense and defense around a quarter-and-a-half to get into the flow of things, before they pulled them to start evaluating the backups. That seemed to be the main purpose of this game. The second-string offense and defense got a lot of playing time. The two aren't neatly separated, as players from both groups got some playing time with the first-string and third-string teams, but the core second-stringers got around 30 snaps on either side of the ball.
Kadeem Edwards and Kevin Pamphile got more snaps than any other player, and by quite some distance. Both ended up with 47 snaps, and on offense only Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Mike Glennon came close. The Bucs clearly wanted to give their two draft picks an extended look -- and the conclusion I'd draw, without re-watching the game, would be that neither is ready start right now.
Special teams once again heavily featured Russell Shepard and Kelcie McCray. Neither is going to make the roster as a regular contributor, but one of them could stick around as a special teams demon. Other players with lots of special teams time for whom that could be the deciding factor were Louis Murphy, Keith Tandy, Danny Lansanah, Quinton Pointer, Damaso Munoz and Brandon Magee.
